- We head east to one of our favourite birding spots in the UK, Spurn.
We are here searching for new birds for our year list, including a couple of rare American visitors.
Congrats on finding your bird! Awesome video as well!
Wonderful video Guys. So many scarce species about. All the best, John. PS: in an earlier video you showed a Great Grey Shrike. Showing my age (!), l first saw this bird back in the winter of 1964 at Wicken Fen!
In the semi-rural areas of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR, along the waterfront, Egrets can be seen on a daily basis. Sometimes only one individual while at other times, a whole flock can be seen making a flyby along the waterfront promenade. On occasions, Large Egrets, Cattle Egrets and Chinese Egrets can be seen too.
I was actually enjoying a bowl of chilli whilst viewing! Speaking of food, I was wondering if the white rumped sandpiper was in the tummy of the first loafing skua you saw!!! What a spectacle with all those wonderful waders to sift through. Let alone all the other birds around. I hope you are feeling better and on top form for the autumn migration which, by your footage looks as though it is well under way!
Wow would love to see some Arctic Skua's here in the Netherlands while watching waders at high tide! We only get them on the beach after a big storm.
We had 8 White-rumped Sandpipers among some Semipalmated Plovers, Semipalmated Sandoiper, and of course Killdeer late this spring in June at Greend pond retention pond, Bethlehem, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, USA, this year which is regular, but just about once happening per year there and just a few times per year otherwise does this species show up in the commonwealth, and only on migration. Eight is about the highest number inland it shows up. At the coast and perhaps at Presque Isle, perhaps more. Otherwise, just one, maybe two or three, mixed in with other peeps, in spots. So, unless you are at there summer or winter grounds, even in its range otherwise, as you know, it's not comparatively abundant. So, no tears. You gave it a good go. That's what counts. Thanks from across the pond. Great video, great birds.
at one nature reserve on the east coast of England about a week ago there were 6 White-rumped Sandpipers! It's not even the record number for the UK!
@@matthewrmellor Went to Frampton last autumn, got a semi-p, a white-rumped, lesser yellowlegs, and a Buff-breasted turned up in the late evening. Managed 4 American Waders from a single reserve, a pectoral also turned up a few days later. Tragically dipped a black stork which was also staying at Frampton.
Another great video! 3 new bird it's defiantly getting harder as you get closer to 240 goal :)
smashing the year list did you manage the greater sandplover up north??
I was sure you would be talking about the Hudsonian Godwit in this video! It must be so close to home for you! Presumably that will come?
Keep watching....
@@TheBackyardAviaryAdventures went for it yesterday - nightmare crush in the hide but saw the bird nonetheless! It slept for about an hour then woke up and preened etc and, helpfully, flashed its underwing!
@@TheBackyardAviaryAdventures hope it wasn't such a nightmare crush for you but I suspect it was
